EDD: Governor’s Economic Investments Will Grow Wealth, Expand Economic Security

Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s proposed budget for the Economic Development Department (EDD) will expand the foundational efforts for a more diverse and resilient economy that can build economic security for New Mexico families and create generational wealth. The governor has targeted strategic investments in economic development – many of them identified in EDD’s 20-year Strategic Plan that was unveiled in November: “Empower and Collaborate: New Mexico’s Path Forward [2].” The proposed budget would allocate an additional $4.4 million from the General Fund to EDD over the current spending level. The priorities include additional support for rural, tribal, and under-served communities as well as more dollars for business incubators, outdoor recreation, job training, and outreach to market opportunities in New Mexico’s international Borderplex. The executive budget also includes replenishing EDD’s job-creation fund, the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA), and adds funding to build critical infrastructure at rural business and industrial parks for a total of $50 million. It also increases recurring funding for the Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) from $5 million to $6 million and provides $7 million as a special appropriation, increasing total job-training grants to $13 million for FY 2023. “Despite the pandemic, the state has had tremendous success in attracting new businesses, helping New Mexico businesses expand, and supporting new higher-paying jobs,” Cabinet Secretary Keyes said.…
